Idea: set up a fence trailer having your supplies in it all the time. This is handy when you need to do emergency repairs. After doing a fence project, you check and replenish supplies. Will you run a top barb wire and or an electric stran?

Still turning up the soil to find those hidden treasures. If one kept pigs over this area the pigs would have a hay day digging up history. Better to let the tractor do the screwing down with nature than some farmers going for an unscheduled vertical tour of the farm with a hand held pole digger. Nice Video of the fence build.

The only problem we have had with cattle in a woven fence is they love to rub on the top of it and bend it down. you have a new, strong fence. So, they may not damage it. But, we have added a single strand of barbed wire above it, just to prevent cattle from using the woven fence to scratch on.

A tip I learned from a pro fencer to get that wire to move more freely and tighten in your cross braces is to use a few of those fencing staples and sit them between the brace and the wires on the outside corners. Stops the wire digging into your post and biting. Keep up the good work, hi from Australia! 🇦🇺

I really think you should invest in what we, in Australia, call a spud bar. With the head of the bar, you can stamp and drive the post in any direction. They come in handy when you require a good lever as well. The chisel end is excellent for breaking up rock. I included a photo in the FaceBook page.

Good fencing, always a treat to see auger and fence monkey in action fencing the USA way. My clay soil runs with spring water all year and corner posts and braces take ages to stabilise. Always a good excuse to use my vintage fordson and wacker plate. Thanks for posting. Best wishes from the UK.

The other thing I would say is I watch you give your wife and extraordinary amount of grace, mercy, understanding, and love. Give your self a little grace….God does.

If you ever have a problem where you run the brace wire wrong, you can always run the opposite wire to create a "X". Anymore 90% of the braces I build are that way. Definitely makes them stronger IMO.

I think you did fine on the fencing, I've put a few fences up for myself and when I was a young man my dad, brother and I put up quite a bit up for other farms. We made our mistakes, but you can always make adjustments to fix those. We use two 2x4's and sandwich the woven wire between them and use bolts to hold them together. Your fence looks good to me, good luck on the new cattle. I hope your wife had a great mothers day and your weekend went good as well, have a nice week.
